The HX17 is a 1.7 ton mini excavator built with a conventional tail swing design, delivering a stable, well-balanced structure for everyday digging, trenching, and grading jobs. Unlike zero-tail models that sacrifice counterweight size for tight-space maneuvering, the HX17’s standard tail swing (715mm swing radius) provides a sturdier center of gravity — ideal for operators who don’t need ultra-narrow clearance but want dependable digging performance at a more competitive price point.
Powered by a Laidong KM385B 3-cylinder diesel engine, the HX17 meets China Stage II emission standards and delivers a hydraulic system pressure of 17 MPa. With a max bucket digging force of 9 KN and arm digging force of 5.5 KN, this 1.7 ton digger handles small-to-medium excavation tasks with ease — from utility trenching to landscaping and site prep.
The HX17 reaches a max digging depth of 2015mm (1807mm for vertical digging), with a max digging radius of 3711mm and max digging height of 3381mm. This 1.7 ton excavator can dump materials up to 2242mm high, making it well-suited for loading trucks or trailers on residential and light commercial job sites.Every HX17 mini excavator comes backed by Hixen’s standard factory warranty, CE certification, and full after-sales support for global buyers.
